dude this helped me so much. i played vanilla launch through tbc and mained holy priest in raid. just got back into retail and it's been so a lot to learn because the game is so different. I started with holy priest and have been up to ~15 in keys and almost aotc. I feel a lot clearer on how the class works and am really looking forward to pushing higher and getting up to speed for s3!
Awesome! Glad you’ve found it helpful. Welcome back; yeah the game is a lot different now. Enjoy getting back up to speed, and let me know if there’s any more questions you have 😀
Divine word serenity is essentially a 50% throughput cd plus 20% mana reduction for 15ec on a 1min timer. With lightweaver it's insane. In an organized group disc can feel smoother overall, but in random pugs holy absolutely blasts healing on demand when disc can just short circuit. The hardest part about holy is getting the invite.
Extremely helpful guide! I've been healing in the off season and have gotten up to M+ 15s, but wanted to up my game a little. Do you have any kind of tracker for when Prayer of Mending comes off cooldown? I find it hard to reapply on cooldown and I sometimes miss it when a holy word takes it off CD as well. Thanks again for the guide!
Thanks! I don’t have a tracker handy, but I’ve heard other people do, so maybe check on wago.io for a WeakAura. Another practice tool that you could do would be to join into any low level key (or heroic dungeon even), and focus exclusively on casting PoM on cooldown, even while out of combat. Isolating it down to just practicing that will help make it more automated. Best of luck!
Thanks for the tip I'll try a lower key to get the rhythm down. I think when I'm pushing challenging keys I just tunnel a little too much and lose track of the rotation. Looking forward to more vids from you as 10.2 ramps up. @@ragnongaming
H priest main here. I ABSOLUTELY use a timer for tracking Prayer of Mending! "Tell me when" is a great addon I use that will play a customized sound off CD. The add-on also has a giant CUstomizable logo of the spell that will popup when PoM is off CD. I find that it really helps me maximize my efficiency using PoM.
No problem! Depends on what you’re looking for. If you are doing up to mid 20s as your goal and you pug a lot, it’s going to be great. If you are pushing the highest keys, it will be overshadowed by disc for the reasons it always has been (passive damage, damage reduction). It’ll be a lot stronger than people give it credit; a lot of content creators dislike playing holy and just regurgitate the same reasoning about placing Holy at the bottom of their tier lists rather than giving it a genuine try. I love it and am planning on playing a lot of Holy in 10.2 m+
Hello man, thanks for your Content! i've been kicked from a group because they want me to MIND CONTROL (but i think they mean dominate mind) wild vortex in vortex pinnacle...and i had never heard that. Sincerly, i've never seen this in any video. Do you use it?
The only thing I’ve ever used dominate mind for in VP was the double adept pack toward the end of the dungeon, and I regularly do that in pugs because it helps limit the amount of kicks needed at a time. But no, I’ve never done it on wild vortex, or have been asked to, but VP is also my least run dungeon so take that with a grain of salt. Hope that helps!
I take it back, I just did it in a 24. It just cuts down kicks on those nasty wind bolts, which allows the tank to pull the first pack past the bridge easily
Short answer is that they each fill different roles within a healing team, holy has been performing overall better the past two tiers, and we’ll have to see in 10.2 but disc is looking very strong. Long answer is that Holy is more of a coverage healer, meaning that it provides consistent healing throughout the fight along with having two very strong 3-4 minute healing cooldowns in Divine Hymn and Salv. Disc is more of a Damage Reduction healer, and is brought for Barrier as well as strong burst healing every 1.5 minutes (or around 45 seconds if cooldowns are split). Outside of these cooldowns, disc provides very little healing, so it is strong on fight profiles where damage is condensed into plannable small windows, whereas Holy is more flexible on fights with consistent damage or fights that need unpredictable reactive healing. That all being said, if you are the only priest healer, you can play whichever fits best with your healing team, or the one you enjoy, or the one that is performing better with tuning in the meta. My team has 2 healing priests, and we’re not sure if we are stacking disc or doing one of each spec yet
That’s the nice thing about priest, I just swap when I’m getting tired. Or to push my IO up on both. Disc is usually more meta for the highest keys because of the damage reduction that helps you survive the big hits, PS for the tank, and passive damage even you are needing to crank heals. But unless you are pushing within the top 1%, holy will be just fine too
@@ragnongaming I seee. I only play around KSM and I play holy when I find the key too difficult as disc. But I do miss Pain Suppression/Barrier when I play holy
I feel your pain man. Give the MW build a shot, I find it worlds easier for things like that boss. My experience is that LW can fall behind on quick group heal checks like that, and the burst healing potential of MW makes a huge difference to get them past that “grievous” threshold.
This video is totally underrated. It's great, thank you!
Very kind of you to say, thanks man!😀
Awesome guide. Super in depth and insightful. Can’t wait for future content
This is such an amazing guide, I will forever be a loyal subscriber to you 🙏🏽
Long live holy priests 🙏🏽
Thank you, Holy Priest all day!
Thanks for the upload dude. I’m new to wow and been learning HP and this is the best video I’ve seen so far!
Awesome, welcome! I’ve got a raid guide getting posted tomorrow morning, so be on the lookout for that if raiding is your thing. 🙂
How this channel doesn’t have 100k subs yet I’ll never know. Great guide dude; many many thanks 🤓🤙
Thanks man! 🙏
I wanna start healer in s3. You just convinced me to priest. Great video. Thx
Awesome man! 💯

Thanks for the guide and the macros, very useful
These guides are usually so useless but this one was by far the best I've seen. Thank you!
Haha, they can be. Thanks!
This guide rocks solidly

Hello brother! Thank you for this video! I m a new healer spec, not new player. Holy priest it’s good for m+ in 10.2? What do you think?

@@ragnongaming but how works DM? I mean, you kill it after the end of pulls or u keep controlled until the end of dungeon?
I take it back, I just did it in a 24. It just cuts down kicks on those nasty wind bolts, which allows the tank to pull the first pack past the bridge easily
You release after killing the other mobs with kicks
Hi, which one is better for the raid? Holy or dis?

So ,when do you decide to play holy and when disc in keys?

Awesome!
The power word: life weakaura is not linked in the spreadsheet.
Thank you, I’ll add it
Added :)
@@ragnongaming Very nice, thanks!
Sounds like I can get in with pvp gear then
Haven’t tried that, but yeah same stat prio 🙂
